Is Leslye Headland a Narcissist?

Фильм және анимация

It's become increasingly obvious over the last few weeks that The Acolyte was a mistake. Leslye Headland has given a series of interviews that have further cemented that fact.
However, Leslye Headland is one of those people where the more she talks, the less you like what you hear. Join me as we discuss some of the things Leslye Headland has said and whether or not she is a narcissist.

    From the start, when she described The Acolyte by comparing it to two well known and established IPs that she had absolutely no credentials to do, I knew she was a narcissist. The way she also refers to George Lucas as just "George", as if she has any relation to him at all, is just pure ego.

    If she is not, then she is working for a company that has learned how to make identity a PR shield to deflect criticism on one hand, and inflicts fear with the other. The one thing people fear when they are successful is the loss of reputation, and by extension public confidence. SBI's head said it herself. "Grab a coffee with their marketing team and terrify them..." Which to translate means, "Threaten them with negative PR." It's a game where you are either on offense or defence. And offense, ironically, is the better position from a strategic point. However Disney have over-extended and exposed their hypocrisy to the point that mainstream media have finally noticed... The question now is, to whom are they loyal?

    What struck me while watching your video -- Kathleen Kennedy is purposefully hiring showrunners who display signs of narcissism and of course no doubt who have the right political leanings. Fundamentally she's looking for people passionate about the agenda more than the story or even Star Wars. When she hears a pitch, that's what she's honing in on -- how passionate is this person about using the medium to push a certain point of view?

    They're not playing dumb, when they accuse people of various "isms", for not liking this. They can't see past their own egos, their activism. The DEI, identity politics component, the victim hood, it's everything to them. The show is "good", purely on the merits of showcasing these virtue signals, everything else; plot, dialogue, good acting, cinematography, sets, costume, even a coherent context within the parent Universe, it's all secondary.

    She believed she could surpass George Lucas but discovered she couldn't. She often attributes her failures to being a woman and credits her successes to the same reason. With such a mindset, there's no winning or losing-she considers herself superior. If a movie fails or the fans dislike it, she blames them, not herself. Conversely, if the movie succeeds, she takes all the credit. Her writing reflects her anger and activism as a gay individual, and in my opinion, she's not a very talented writer.

    Their content & self insert characters are their personal therapy sessions on screen. Their narcissism demands we all see their “brilliance” the way we saw Spielberg & Lucas, etc. yet their insecurities force them to use IPs they didn’t create because they know they’re not as talented or creative. So they hated the fans & audiences because any criticism of their therapy sessions felt like a personal attack and even worse. They resent audiences that declare “this is meh” “this is awful writing”, etc. because deep down they know the fans are definitely right. You made me think it’s not just narcissism but also a deep fear of being the emperor with his new clothes.

She'd tattle if you complained about changing the rules for her, she'd cry and gaslight you if you started winning, and she'd end the whole game by pretending to be hurt and running to an adult. Leslie Headland is that little girl, grown up.

Brick Face has basically admitted to stalking Amandla Stenberg for years after her Hunger Games role (when Stenberg was 13), and made the role for her specifically. Literally showed up to her with all the concept art ready-made, all showing images/portraits of Stenberg specifically, all before Stenberg even knew this project was in the works. Rather than notice the obvious red flags, she ran with it (and God knows what else behind closed doors).

She described many conversations with her husband where he was fretting with her about how discontented she was, and how she had to craft her work in order to bring herself peace and happiness. The idea of having an obligation to her employer, let alone her customers, just wasn't present in her mind. The whole world was just one big therapy session to her.

    Compared to "The Acolyte" If you go back & watch "X-Men the Animated series" It was so well crafted. The story of the struggles of mutants having to deal with humanity was such a universally relatable storyline. Media back then was not afraid to face difficult topics head on. They found really unique ways to abstractly teach people life lessons. They touched on difficult situations & found intelligent ways to convey certain stories. Even when I was all grown up & rewatched it, it really felt like the story is crafted so well & executed at such a high level that anyone is capable of relating to it in someway or another. It's stuff like that, that we are deeply lacking nowadays. So much so that literal kid's cartoons from the 90's told deeper and more mature stories than most media nowadays. Stuff used to take pride in who can find the most creative ways to convey certain things. Who can give the audience certain feelings without overly explaining it. It used to not matter what kind of character, creature, species they were. What matters is that they found ways to convey artistic depictions of the Human condition. Creative ways that can connect us on a deeper level. This stuff we are seeing across the board when it comes to video games or different kinds of media really seems like we are seeing a horrible outcome of a awful trend where people keep getting positions, who in no way deserve those positions. It doesn't seem these people are hired based off of their talent or skill..? We are seeing very expensive shows, games, movies, with such terrible writing. Awful world design, character development, poor aesthetics. So much right now just feels overall creatively bankrupt and I really hope we all snap the f*ck out of it and get back to making better things. Better games better shows better movies This show comes off so cheap & tacky.. It's not just the terrible writing & terrible acting. The whole thing is a complete self centered power trip.. It's horrible set design, horrible world building, horrible camera work. It all makes this show feel so small. Like it's filmed in a single green screen room.. Grasping at awful CGI techniques to try and force any bit of a false reality into this mess of a show. It's so far from Legitimate Star wars movies that it feels as if this whole thing is a big parody.. A very expensive parody..

    ​@Joecbg100 undercover journalist captured a VP on camera admitting thar Disney's DEI practices are extremely racist and sexist. They exclusively try to reject white males, and even only higher POC if they're quote "dark enough." In other words? South Park was 10000% correct when its episode had Carmen's Kathleen Kennedy demand to make new product have 'more women in and make it lame and gay'. The reason DEI is the cause is because DEI offers bonuses and incentives to reach certain agendized quotas. Money.

    For real. You would assume that If someone is going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on something that they would want experienced people who meet certain standards? This show really does seem like a awful outcome of this awful trend where people keep getting these positions, who in no way deserve those positions. It doesn't seem they are hired based off of their talent or skill..? A show this expensive, with this famous of a subject, should Not have this bad of writing. The world design, the set design, the aesthetics, the overall look & feel of it's visuals as a whole come off so cheap. It's all so surface level & tacky. On top of everything people have already said, I also think the camera work in this show is awful. The show genuinely feels like kids who are role playing as adults in order to direct this.. It really feels like it's deliberately going against everything that is Star Wars. It feels deliberately disrespectful to the lore and has no respect to the source material. Are they deathly allergic to having male characters? Are they allergic to quality storytelling, world building, character development.. This is awful! It really seems like whoever is making these doesn't realize Star Wars used to be a really well made world full of diversity. It didn't matter what kind of character, creature, species you were, they found great ways to convey artistic depictions of the Human condition. Creative ways that connect us all on a deeper level. This show comes off so cheap & tacky.. It's not just the terrible writing & terrible acting. It's horrible set design, horrible world building, horrible camera work. It all makes this show feel so small. Like it's filmed in a single green screen room.. Grasping at awful CGI techniques to try and force any bit of a false reality into this mess of a show. It's so far from Legitimate Star wars movies that it feels as if this whole thing is a big parody.. A very expensive parody..🎉

    The bit about pretending you know what you're doing is - in a limited way - good advice. And it doesn't make men into monsters for their audacity is risk-taking. I'm sure most directors had a couple student films and had been experimenting since they were kids with filming stuff. HOWEVER, it's probably better if you do the learning thing on indie films. The recent spate of failure have been handing properties to directors who aren't suited for the project. If Robert Altman were still alive, he would be the wrong choice for a star wars film or to have directed The Eternals. Learning through doing is fine, but you want to limit the cost. The recent spate of disney films has been handling documentary or arthouse female directors 200 million dollars. And if any of their style comes through in the final work, then you have a weird product. With Headland, she seems to claim that she gave Kennedy a treatment for a star wars show and was told it was a good star wars show, but she wanted a Headland show. So unless Headland is lying to make herself seem like an auteur, then bastardizing genres and properties in an experimental way might be coming from Disney. I don't think Headland has helped herself, but Disney handed her and Stenberg a poisoned chalice and they were stupid enough to drink. If you're a film executive and someone comes to you with an idea with limited commercial appeal, just say no. Learning through doing is great, but disney hasn't done their female directors favors. They've given then public failures that should have been caught at the pitch stage. (I'm not trying to defend Headland exactly. A decent number of directors may have been worked their way up and learned the trade so when they were directing they knew what they were doing. But some directors were madmen, treading a line between genius and hubris. For instance, the film 'Walkabout' is culturally significant. But wandering off into the wilds of Australia could equally have ended with the sentence "And they were never heard from again.". I'd note that it's not just women who had their creative failures count against them. Michael Cimino didn't escape from the failure of Heaven's Gate.)

Without him there is not Star Wars that's it. They like it or not he's important, he understands better than anyone else how his universe work out.

    I've never seen Frozen, so I may be missing some subtleties here, but I found that whole speech weird. She compares a sister relationship to a heterosexual romantic relationship, and says that as a queer person she would have understood that sort of thing if she had seen it between sisters.. (Btw, that also makes it sound like as a lesbian she could never understand the love for a brother..) This mixing up of familial love and romantic love is so powerful that she cried through the entire movie and she believes it would changed her entire life if she had seen it as a kid, because this is the kind of love/relationship she would have "understood" as a little lesbian.. Ok? I can't tell if she's just being really bad at coming up with ways to make things sound "stunning and brave and super important" in front an interviewer or not..

    Headland completely misunderstood the phrase "fake it 'til you make it" and never got out of the fake-it phase. Copying other successful persons isn't just acting like them, but understanding _why_ their work is well-received and _how_ they create a successful product. She obviously only has a surface-level understanding of storytelling and filmmaking and lacks the deep knowledge and wisdom of those she is trying to emulate.

Also, Star Wars is to be watched by kids, not 30+ year old nerds, it's modern classic hero's journey fairy tales and forming experiences. So their hope is that said much younger audience watches it and there it sticks and lingers.
